Alexander, Regarding the clock, to be honest, I think you found a loophole... :) the original design does not allow switching out clocks on an existing session as it is impossible for the engine to guarantee consistency in such case. Additionally, in my experience, real time clocks are usually not the best choice for production applications. They require less code, but in the end, the application has no control over the time flow and can create several situations that will make it impossible for you to obtain the desired results.
My suggestion is always to use a pseudo clock and have your application control it based on your desired behaviour. This can be as simple as a thread syncing the clock with the machine clock at predefined intervals, or based on a clock heartbeat event, or based on the streams of events, etc. Thanks for pointing out the docs errors. We will update them for the next release (6.0.0). Also, if you can submit a PR with the update, always happy to apply.
